HARRY POTTER'S BONNIE WRIGHT WANTS MORE DEVELOPMENT FOR GINNY AND HER RELATIONSHIP WITH BOY WIZARD IN HBO TV SERIES

The TV reboot of the Harry Potter books is under development and is expected to premiere on HBO in 2026. Many of the actors from the film franchise including Daniel Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis, who were cast as kids, have shared that they won't appear on the series. Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley, also shared the same sentiments. However, the actress added she was looking to see more of the relationship between her character and Harry Potter.

Bonnie Wright on her hopes for Harry Potter TV series

Bonnie played Ginny for a decade, from age nine to 19. The actress attended a Back to Hogwarts event at New York’s Grand Central Terminal on September 1, the first day of school at the wizarding school. She told Variety that she wanted to see more of the development of Harry and Ginny's relationship from the books in the show. Their characters end up getting married after school.

The actress said, "There’s nuanced moments of where they begin to fall in love. I think more of that arc of her character becoming this real loyal sidekick to Harry and how she really understands and knows his story and who he is and is the best partner for him. So I just hope we see that evolution of that character — and so many characters. If only we could have had five-hour movies. There are so many characters that have moments I love from the books — Neville and Luna — so I’m hoping as a fan of the books that I get to see more.”

Bonnie wishes the new team of Harry Potter well

The actress agreed that the new cast would face added pressure due to social media, but she hoped they all would have fun with it and make it their own. She also ruled out any appearance on the reboot. Bonnie shared, "I’m really looking forward just to being this time on the other side and be the one watching every week on television, and be the audience. And I really hope that the interpretations feel different and alive and new and fresh."
